116. If, for a given type of redeemable containers or, as the case may be, material obtained following the conditioning of that type of containers, the designated management body does not achieve the prescribed recovery and reclamation rates, except the local reclamation rates, for a period of 5 consecutive years despite the implementation of remediation plans during that period, it must make a payment to the Minister of Finance, not later than 15 May following the last of those years, in an amount equal to the amount for the financing, calculated for one year, of the measures for that type of containers, provided for in the last remediation plan sent to the Société and the Minister pursuant to the second paragraph of section 113. If, for the last such year, the gap between the prescribed rate and the rate achieved is less than 5%, the amount of the payment is reduced by half.
The sums paid pursuant to the first paragraph are paid to the Fund for the Protection of the Environment and the Waters in the Domain of the State established under the Act respecting the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs (chapter M-30.001).
